Mine is more of a trick of patience. I don't get the usual upgrade in seats, but usually the room I want!
I would always sit in the terminal and wait for EVERYONE to board the plane. Once they were all on, I go ahead and board.... 85% of the time I get on the plane and will see 2 seats that are empty... I then proceed to sit in the isle seat and put my bag on the window seat until take-off. :) On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 7:15 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]>wrote: > Everyone probably already knows this and I'm the last to discover it > but I found a way to jump the long boarding queue to get on the plane > quicker. > > Just before the check-in desk opened I went up to the check-in staff > and asked them for an upgrade from economy class.
